Audrey did not intend to hide it, so she decided to be frank."Do you know that there is a hierarchy within the Knights? Once you enter, there will be a hierarchy. The higher the hierarchy, the more missions you can complete, and the more power you have in the Knights."
"That seems to be the case, but what does that have to do with us? I think it's already good enough that I can enter, " Kate said in a low voice as he smiled embarrassedly.
Audrey could not help but laugh.
Since she was going to join the Knights, her goal was not as simple as just entering. She did not like to be a weakling in a group. That would cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, since she was going to enter, she had to be the strongest.
"It's alright. Let's finish the training first." Audrey did not say anything else, nor did she want to put pressure on Kate.
Kate nodded and responded.
Suddenly, a surge of combat aura flew out from Audrey's hand. Even Kate, who was sitting next to her, was shocked."Audrey, what are you doing?"
"There's meat to eat." Audrey chuckled. She got up and walked toward the place where the combat aura had been released. After a while, she picked up a wild rabbit and walked over.
"Wow, there's actually wild meat here." Kate's eyes lit up.
"Of course there is. Otherwise, what would those guardian divine beasts eat?" Audrey explained very naturally as if she was not the least bit surprised.
Ever since she had entered this isolated island, she had roughly understood the entire island's biological chain. She also knew that it was not difficult to obtain food on this island.
Since food was not difficult and the living environment was fine, why was it called the devil training?
This was something Audrey could not figure out.
She could not quite believe that the final devil training of the Knights would be so easy. This was also what Audrey had been worried about. The unknown dangers were the most terrifying.
Audrey quickly cleaned up the rabbit, made a fire, and roasted it. The fragrant smell spread out, and Kate almost drooled.
Living in the five great families, they had been well-fed since they were young. When had they ever suffered such grievance?
After having enough food and water, the two continued forward.
In the vast forest, it was impossible to tell directions. Audrey could only barely make out the path through the sunrise and sunset. The forest in the afternoon seemed to be even more humid and hot, with many poisonous insects roaming around.
Audrey had the protection of ice and snow, so the mosquitoes did not dare to come close. However, Kate was different. In a short while, he was bitten several times.
Seeing this, Audrey frowned. Then, she secretly cast a spell to let the ice and snow protect Kate.
"It's really strange. Just now, those poisonous insects kept biting me. Now, none of them are here, " Kate joked to himself.
"Maybe they feel that your blood doesn't smell very good, " Audrey replied jokingly. Her bright smile hung on her face, and her clear eyes looked straight at Kate.
Kate's laughter stopped abruptly, and his heart skipped a beat. His eyes that looked at Audrey became slightly heated.
When he sensed Audrey's reaction, he immediately reacted. He touched the back of his head and said shyly, "Maybe."
As soon as he said that, Audrey suddenly became serious.
Kate was stunned. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Audrey say, "Shh, something's coming."
Kate's heart tightened, and he felt uneasy for some reason. However, when he thought of Audrey by his side, he felt much more at ease. The two of them quieted down, and Audrey began to carefully sense the aura and the speed at which it was moving.
Why was it sticking to the ground? From the sounds, Audrey could roughly make out something.
"What is it?"
"It should be a reptile species. It seems quite powerful, but it shouldn't be a guardian beast. They won't just run out randomly. They'll all be guarding the energy ball." Audrey analyzed it carefully. She was also slightly nervous about the species that was about to arrive.
Running away was not her personality. However, it seemed to be extremely strenuous to face that thing.
While she was in a dilemma, that thing had already approached. Its long and thick body slowly wriggled on the ground. Its blood-red mouth revealed its snake tongue.
"It's a snake, " Kate cried out in surprise and hurriedly lowered his voice.
Audrey nodded. So it was this thing. She had thought it was some other species.
However, it seemed to be quite powerful. It had probably turned into a spirit. How many more of these things were there in this forest?
Could this be the real danger?
Audrey made many guesses in her heart, but she was not sure. In order to preserve her strength, Audrey had planned to secretly escape with Kate, but she had not expected the giant snake to pounce directly on the two of them.
The long snake's tongue almost landed on Kate's body. Fortunately, he dodged quickly.
"Audrey, what should we do?" Kate asked.
"We can only solve it."
The snake's movement speed could be very fast. Audrey did not have the confidence to outrun it unless she teleported. However, it would consume too much energy, so she might as well have a good fight.
"Hiss -" The giant snake's mouth made a sound that was particularly sinister.
Audrey felt a slight chill in her heart, and her gaze tightened. Such a giant snake was truly a thorny problem.
"Great Goddess of ice and snow, please send down Frost!" As the chant came out, the air suddenly became cold. Frost fell, and all living things went into hibernation.
